Color label information - where?

@agriggio

I haven’t been testing the software per se, but I have been using it in my workflow as I normally do. The minor issue I’ve been having concerns the software relying on the cache.

In my workflow, I first do a rough edit in ART and then I evaluate my photos and set the colour class in an external piece of software. Art does not pick up that the underlying dng has changed, but I notice that the filtering is not behaving properly. I then set the browser in ART to look at a different directory, go into the preferences and clear the cache, and then return to the original directory. ART then picks up the changes and I can carry on normally, but it is a bit of a nuisance that ART doesn’t recognize when the underlying file has changed.

If there was a straightforward way to address that, that would be great, but if not I have a usable work-around.

Thank you for all of your efforts.

Hi,

ART isn’t really designed to work with changing raw files. If you can update your workflow to store color information in xmp sidecars, everything should work as expected.

Unfortunately, that’s not really a viable alternative for me at the present time. However, as I mentioned, I have a workable alternative. But it takes a few extra key clicks.

Thank you for your consideration.
